For counterspells in modern there is cryptic command, mana leak, spell pierce, rune snag, spell snare, spell snare, and as a repeatable counter with restoration angel blinking used glen elendra archmage. Some modern cards to run over other cards in standard are augury owl, solemn simulacrum, wall of omens, kitchen finks, and aven riftwatcher. Also you could use swords over runchanters pike. One card I wish I had access to is vendilion clique, but is near impossible for me to get. If anyone could send me a list with sideboard, preferably without vendilion clique, I would appreciate it. I have no idea what modern decks to watch out for, or what to watch out for post sideboard. The deck I am running looks somewhat like the proceeding, and I would like to make it easy to modify it back and forth so ideally it will just be my deck, with upgrades over similar cards.
